Having been raised in the picturesque twin-island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis, he grew up surrounded by vibrant landscapes and rich cultural heritage, which fostered a keen appreciation for architecture and public spaces. With degrees in architecture and urban design, he aspires to make a meaningful impact on communities, fostering spaces that enhance the quality of life for all. As a former service member in the united states army, his military service provided him with unique perspectives on teamwork and leadership which he takes into every endeavour. Outside of design, Xavier finds enjoyment in watching his favourite team, Chelsea FC, compete in European football competitions.

This studio brought to light the difficulties in developing typical New York City housing lots (25’x100’) in a manner in which investors and tenants can both be satisfied.District 10 Manhattan, also known as Central Harlem, is home to just over 125,000 people. This community is known to be very diverse, which presents its own challenges. The median income for Central Harlem sits just above $45,000 per year with 29% of its population living below the poverty line.This project pushes the boundaries of typical “brownstone” construction by using a combination of Glulam and CLT members. The proposal also includes the acquisition of air rights to facilitate not only more units, but provide more diverse living options. Bearing in mind HPD guidelines, 3(10) Embed provides spacious and equitable housing for its tenants.Location: Manhattan, NY 10027Lot Size: 27’ x 100’Zoning District: R7ACurrent Use: Empty LotProposed Use: Affordable Infill Housing 11

Location: Brooklyn, NY 11231Year: 1899Structure: Wood with Brick FacadeArchitect: William Bunker TubbyInitial Use: Bottle Ware ManufacturingCurrent Use: Architectural Hardware ManufacturingProposed Use: Co-Living for Artists (Painters, Photographers, Writers) A modular housing system that fit within the warehouse’s existing structure provided the platform upon which this project was conceptualised. The system, that could morph into an open floor workspace, catered to varying housing demands and financial capacities. The project was designed specifically for painters, photographers, and writers by providing dedicated productivity space for all.New York City is with limited real estate for new-builds. To help alleviate its housing crisis, adaptive reuse is one of the main options lawmakers have turned to as they grapple with solutions. This studio tapped into that scenario and offered an old manufacturing complex for re-purposing. The goal was create artist housing and a community where occupants shared necessities like kitchen and dining as well as also productivity spaces.The project’s form was dictated by code constraints, maxing out at six stories. The first four floors are organised such that living spaces wrap the atrium. The fifth floor is entirely public, featuring a gallery, cafe, and a terrace bar with seating - while the sixth floor has all independent units.Period: Summer 2022Professor: Joshua JowType: Adaptive ReuseSoftware: Rhino 3D, Revit, AI, PS,TwinmotionPastures Anew - 55 Ferris St.77

** Denotes work produced mainly or entirely by collaboratorsHarlem BeaconThe project endeavoured to be a celebration of circulation. Flow is facilitated through multiple points of entry based on geographical origin of users. Circulation to and from these points of origin designate not only programmatic location but also shaped the volumes of these spaces. With two semi-removed parts, the project provides a space for the culmination of community engagement and educational programming. The challenge was to create a project with considerations for design, structure, details, RCPs, HVAC, etc., all while being New York City code compliant. The group deliberated over three initial concepts before the strongest idea prevailed. We worked as a team to develop Nicole’s idea of completing a necklace of green spaces which culminated at the site. The idea was pushed collectively through plans and sections, before assigning more specific tasks for final production.The project’s preeminent design element, an ADA-compliant ramp, not only shaped its final form, but created a programmatic separation. This separation meant floors one and two served the general public and community while floor three was campus specific. At a minimum 12000sf, the project’s main flexible use space needed to be column-free, with a minimum vertical height of 25’ to facilitate a range of uses to serve its patrons.Period: Spring 2022Professor: Julie NelsonType: Comprehensive Design (Team Project)Software: Rhino 3D, Revit, AI, PS, Twinmotion, SAP 2000Location: New York, NY 10031Lot Size: 52,670 SFCurrent Use: Parking LotProposed Use: Institutional 1515**

HOME OF PENSOLEThe challenge for this studio was to create a new home for Pensole which facilitates the projected expansion of the school. This proposal considers 200 students cycling through a revamped six week program now including Art and Architectural Design. The project provides housing for 75 students, 20 studios, shared break-out spaces, computer labs, commercial space, terraces, administration, material library, gallery, and auditorium.The form was derived from the site’s immediate context, considering access points to and from the site. These access points provided a platform to create physical or visual connections to the site’s core. The massing is split into two, dormitory and school, with the dorms occupying the south and the taller school element in the north, taking full advantage of natural light into studio spaces.The Pensole Lewis College of Business and Design, located in Detroit, Michigan, is an innovative design school founded and spearheaded by Dr. D’wayne Edwards, a self-taught footwear designer. The school aims to significantly reduce training periods for incoming staff into design environments at brands such as Nike and Adidas. Students are put through a rigorous five week, 10hr/day workshop which sees them get enthralled in design processes and the business etiquette to go along with it. The school is entirely brand funded, tuition and housing, with students only required to cover meals.Location: 42.332807, -83.038319Lot Size: 82 000 SfCurrent Use: Parking LotProposed Use: InstitutionalCode Class.: PCA (Public Center Adjacent)Period: Fall 2022Professor: Robin OslerType: EducationalSoftware: Rhino 3D, Revit, AI, PS, Climate Studio, Twinmotion2121 2222
